OPTiFrac® - Low Guar Borate Crosslinked Fracturing Fluids

Typical Properties and Field Applications

OPTiFrac technology was commercialized in 2011 successfully and has been applied in various oil and gas fields in the world. It has been proved to be effective in treatment of tight sandstone and carbonate reservoirs with the following conditions:

Temperature:
BHST 70-325℉ (21-163℃)
Formation: 
Various sandstone and carbonate formations
Mix-water: 
Fresh water, brines, or seawater

Further information about field applications is described in documented “Case History of OPTiFrac Technology”.

Typical rheological properties of OPTiFrac fluids are shown in the following Figures.


           

Precautions and HSE Considerations

Guar (KHF021 and KHF021L), Delayed borate crosslinker (KHFX0610 and KHFX1030) and breaker (KHF011, KHF012, KHF013 and KHF014) in OPTiFrac systems play the most important role in fracturing treatment. In addition, clay stabilizer (KHF002, KHF002L and KHF002C), biocide (KHF003 and KHF003G), stabilizer aid (KHF004), stabilizer (KHF005), antifoaming agent (KHF006) and flowback additive (KHF007 and KHF007S) are also used in OPTiFrac systems.

The laboratory procedures, quality assurance program and guidelines for field mixing and handling of OPTiFrac systems are described in OPTiFrac fluid manual.
